Ofcom chairman stepping down

Ofcom Chairman Colette Bowe has confirmed that she will step down from the Board in March 2014, when her terms ends.

Bowe was appointed as Ofcom Chairman in March 2009 for a five-year period. Prior to this, she was the first Chairman of Ofcom’s Consumer Panel and joined the main Board in 2008.

“I am extremely proud of the fact that Ofcom has served citizens and consumers, and achieved so much while also reducing its cost base,” said Bowe. “It has been a privilege to chair such a strong board which is absolutely focused on delivering on Ofcom’s priorities.”
